Who Else Wants to Empower Women by Connecting with an International Network of Professional Women and Have a Life-Changing Experience?
By admin | October 11, 2008
I am SO excited to share this with you!
For any woman who wants to feel empowered, and reach out to others to do the same, you’ve got to connect with The Women’s Conference 2008!
If you’re reading this post, then This Conference is For YOU!
Here’s what it’s about:
“Under the leadership of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver, The Women’s Conference has grown from a small government initiative for working professionals into a far-reaching organization, a life-changing experience, and an international network of women from all walks of life, backgrounds and perspectives.”
“The Women’s Conference event is the largest and most dynamic gathering of women in the nation. Recognized for its unparalleled capacity to inspire and empower women to become architects of change, the annual conference unites more than sixty internationally-acclaimed leaders and visionaries with 14,000 women in one arena, plus thousands more virtually, to share enriching stories of transformation and success, words of encouragement and life lessons.”
This year, The Women’s Conference is providing more opportunities to “Be Who You Are — An Architect of Change.”

Also, you can try going on the site’s “discussion boards” where I’ve seen tickets for sale, as well as E-Bay, Craigslist and other venues where people may sell tickets they can no longer use.
If you can’t attend, sign up for their waiting list so that you can watch the webcast on October 22. All of the main stage speakers will be featured live from Long Beach. Please check back on the website for details.
